Confronted with complex societal problems, science funding bodies have been calling for the participation of non-scientific actors in the production of allegedly more ‘robust’ knowledge. While in the field of sustainability these trends in science policy h ...
Few-layer graphene (FLG) has recently been intensively investigated for its variable electronic properties, which are defined by a local atomic arrangement. While the most natural arrangement of layers in FLG is ABA (Bernal) stacking, a metastable ABC (rho ...
In a multi-unit market, a seller brings multiple units of a good and tries to sell them to a set of buyers that have monetary endowments. While a Walrasian equilibrium does not always exist in this model, natural relaxations of the concept that retain its ...
Adhesive pads are commonly used in both natural and engineering systems. A recent study [Cohen et al. Soft Matter 2018] has shown that the failure of finite pads, subjected to loading parallel to the substrate, can be triggered by different mechanisms; int ...
A tradition of scholarship discusses the characteristics of different areas of knowledge, in particular after modern academia compartmentalized them into disciplines. The academic approach is often put to question: are there two or more cultures? Is an eve ...
This report presents challenges, opportunities, and directions for computational science and engineering (CSE) research and education for the next decade. Over the past two decades the field of CSE has penetrated both basic and applied research in academia ...
Head pose estimation is a fundamental task for face and social related research. Although 3D morphable model (3DMM) based methods relying on depth information usually achieve accurate results, they usually require frontal or mid-profile poses which preclud ...
In the present information era, a huge amount of machine-readable data is available regarding scientific publications. Such unprecedented wealth of data offers the opportunity to investigate science itself as a complex interacting system by means of quanti ...
The 2030 Agenda enhances the role that science plays in sustainable development. However, there is a need for new models of science-policy interface that can shape national agendas more strongly and help evidence-based policy advance the Sustainable Develo ...
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy under magic-angle spinning has recently emerged as a unique analytical method to probe surfaces at atomic resolution. In this article, we first describe the basic principles of dynami ...
